//------------------------------// // Thirteen: Where in Equestria am I?! // Story: The Non-Equestrian Equestrian Hero // by New Dawn //------------------------------// "ngh..." "It's waking up!" "Drone #92! Hit it with the spell again!" "Yes Queen Chrysalis..." 'Uhhhgggg Why does my head hurt...' I thought. My eyes fluttered open and I could already see two thing that were wrong with this picture; One, I'm in a prision cell. Two, I'm a wolf again. 'Well, This is great...' "Ngh... Stop..." A voice said from the corner. Siting there was Navi. Her hoof was connected to a foot long chain as well as my paw. Her horn and wings had a strange blueish-greenish aura around them. 'Oh great... Navi is out cold, I'm a freaking wolf and Braeburn has disappeared with out a trace, besides that note... It does seem strange that he would just leave. I would think that he would atleast try to find us.' "WOLF!" Navi cried from the corner. 'That's riiiighhht... She's never seen me transform...' I tried to go calm her but the chain on my paw restricted me from doing so. Even so, she kept trying to back away. 'GRRR... If only I could comunicate with her!!! Wait, if she's a changeling... Does that mean I could potentially talk to her?' I tried to clear my throat as best as I could as a wolf. I slowly spoke my name, but it came out as "Heathrowf!" Navi slowly listened and tried to piece it together. "H-H-Heather?" She stammered. I nodded my head. She leapt on me as best as she could and laughed. "I thought we were dead! I could hear the hive again in my head as I slept so I knew something was up..." She said, energetic as always. 'I missed you Navi... Even though you were here the entire time...' I totally forgot she couldn't hear me. Click... I turned my head around to see a changeling guard in black Armour was standing by the door with several other guards. 'Greaaat... It's just like when I got here!' "92!" Gasped Navi. 92's magic swirled around the base of the chains and unlocked them. Five guards pushed us out of the room, very, very roughly, if I may add. After a little while of walking I noticed a locked door. Through the window beside it I could barely see the hilt of the Master Sword. I looked back at navi and nodded very little. She nodded back and suddenly fell. 'THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY!!!' If I could then I would have facepalmed at this exact moment. Well, atleast the guards are distracted. I rushed over to the loocked door and slowly pushed it open, finding it was unlocked. Very convenient. I approached the sword and my entire body began to glow. The same pins and needle feeling came over me again as I made the switch from wolf to human. "Ah, It's good to be me again..." I whispered as I saw Navi slam the door behind me. I peeked through the window and saw that the six guards were struggling to get inside. "What did you do!?!" I said, raising my voice. She flinched and said "Well, I tried to follow you and I kinda ticked off the guards... By calling them hatchlings so that kind of hurt their pride.." she turned the lock and slowly backed away from the door. I facepalmed and sighed. I picked up my stuff and looked around, trying to find an exit. I did notice a boomerang that looked like a curved wing. "No way! The gale boomerang! Doesn't look like it has any power however." I said aloud. "Can that help us!?" Navi shrieked. "Not in it's current state, We just need to figure out what gives it's magical properties." I muttered. I hung it on the loop of my shield and noticed it has gotten considerably more quieter. "H-heather..." Navi said, her eyes as wide as dinnerplates. "Yeah?" "Does this thing look familiar?" She said, backing away from the window. "Huh?" I said, approaching the window. CLIFFHANGER!
